[Cvsnt] Question on update

[Unknown Dude]

True but you have to cd back to the root of the project and do a
cvs co /prj/whateverprj/filename and more typically you are at least 5+ dir
deep once you add com.domain in there.

This seems klunky and I thought it was a deficiency in my understand how to
co a single file.  If I want to lose my changes and revert back to the
repositories version, what is the best avenue?  Ive been just deleting the
file and doing an update.
